Pressure cask
base frame. The room should be well ventilated and high temperatures or direct exposure
to sunlight should be avoided.
4.5 How to transport the pressure cask
The beverage cask must only be transported after it has been depressurized. In order to
prevent damage, the cask must be secured properly during transport.
4.6 How to clean the beverage cask
Please remember: hygiene is number one!
Only if you sterilize the cask and the tap inside and outside immediately prior to filling
the vessel can you be awarded with a delicious beverage. It is of utmost importance to
clean the vessel properly the first time. Hygiene is important to guarantee your success.
Therefore, SPEIDEL offers a cleaning brush that allows you to keep your pressure cask
spick and span.
When you are cleaning the vessel for the first time, use hot water to rinse it several times.
Use the brush (supplied) to clean the tap. Once the pressurised beverage cask has been
emptied, it must be cleaned thoroughly. Never let any remains become sticky and adhere
to the inside/outside of the vessel. Before refilling the vessel it may remain under residual
pressure; however, thorough cleaning shall always take place prior to the refilling
process.
Use commercially available cleaning agents to clean all stainless steel parts. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or sponges and brushes that may cause scratches. Please ensure to
remove all cleaning agent residue and rinse the pressurised beverage cask properly.
Moreover, we also recommend to use baking powder as cleaning age. Fill the vessel with
water. Add 1 to 3 packages of baking powder. Use the tap to close the cask and let it sit
for 1 to 2 days. Subsequently, rinse thoroughly.
These recommendations and instructions have been determined during numerous tests.
Those values are based on experience; however, we cannot provide any guaranties. Never
use chlorine or cleaning agents containing chlorine; it will damage the stainless steel.
Before opening the beverage cask, ensure the vessel has been depressurized
4.7 How to store the pressure cask
The pressurised beverage cask must be stored in a dry place. Avoid any contact with
ferrous or corroded equipment.
Only operate the pressurised beverage cask and its ancillary equipment in well ventilated
rooms in order to prevent the risk of suffocation caused by escaping CO2 (e.g., when
bleeding the pressure relief valve).
Never store pressurised vessels in direct sunlight or operate these vessels inside
excessively hot rooms.
Keep children away from all gas fittings, pressure relief valves or gas bottles.
